hmem vs Audrey

hmem: hmem is a memory system for AI agents that persists project context across sessions, devices, and AI providers. It uses a 5-level lazy loading architecture to minimize token usage while retaining full details. It supports auto-logging, background checkpoints, and cross-platform sync.; Audrey: Audrey is a persistent memory and continuity engine for AI agents, providing local-first storage via SQLite, MCP tools, REST API, and SDKs for JavaScript and Python. It offers durable recall, consolidation, contradiction handling, and benchmark gates without external infrastructure. It integrates seamlessly with Claude Code and supports Docker deployment.
